Perhaps, no one knows for sure.
I checked some prior year posts, and the ability to e-file them wasn't available until:
~16 Jan 2025 for the 2024 QEmp 1099-NEC forms. (the e-file button stopped being greyed out and folks needing it could e-file them)
~10 Jan 2024 for the 2023 QEmp 1099-NEC forms. (etc)

Since 2025 isn't over yet, perhaps you should wait until 15 Jan 2026 to try again. Not sure why your data disappeared, but perhaps you are just starting too soon.
